Specification of Letters latent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL ARTHUR Sono- RIG, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany, residing at Grossrohrsdorf, Saxony, Germany, have inventedcertain Improvements in Heddles, of which the following is aspecification.

The present invention relates to heddles particularly for use in weavingendless bands, its object being to produce heddles which can be easilyapplied to and removed from the endless warp.

The invention consists in the provision of j two superposed stripshaving open-ended 15 slots extending through little more than half thestrip length. These strips areplacedso that the slots run in oppositedirections and form, at the inner end of the s1ots, an eye for thereception of they warp thread. The portions of the stripswhich'form theeye are depressed in opposite directions so that the strips can be heldin the' same plane as the thread. i

Inthe accompanying drawings the invention is illustrated, Figure 1representing a side view of one of the strips, Fig. 2, a front view ofthe two strips arranged in .juxt'aposition, Fig. 3, a front view of thejoined strips as applied to the warp thread and Fig. 4, a side view ofFig. 3. I

The heddle is composed of two superposed strips 1 each of which has anopen-ended longitudinal slot 2 carried through a little I more than halfits length. The strips are site directions and forminthe middle of thestrips an eye The 'portions 8 and 4 of placed together so ithatitheslots run in. oppos Patented Septil, 1914.ApplicationfiledNovember15,1913..

the strips which. form saidieye, are de- 7 strips can beheld, as shownin Figs; 3 and I ft, the same plane as a warp thread 6 passing throughthe eye. applied singly'to the warp threads from op- The two strips areposite directions andthen joined;

The heddles thus formed are fitted in the A heddle composed of twosuperposed strips, each strip having a longitudinal openended slotcarried through a little [more than half the strip ,length,. the stripsbeing pressed in opposite directions, so'.thatthe I .45] usual manner ina common heddle frame be tween spacing elements which hold the twoplaced together so thatthe'slots run in-op-g I posite directions andform an eye'in the mid-u dle of the strip for the rece ptio'n'of thewarp thread, the portions forming, such eye being depressed inoppositedirections so that the. "strips can be held in the sameplaneasthe "warp thread, substantially as set forth.
